hi dave,
ok, so here's how this section started (CISCO-FLASH-MIB):
ChecksumString ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
DISPLAY-HINT "x"
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"Represents the checksum of a file.
"
SYNTAX OCTET STRING
and here's what it looked like after i made the change you suggested:
ChecksumString ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
DISPLAY-HINT "1x"
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"Represents the checksum of a file.
"
SYNTAX OCTET STRING
and now snmpbulkwalk completes just fine, no hangs
i've backed out the change and replicated the hang
i found a paragraph on DISPLAY-HINT in Perkins/McGinnis ... but i don't
think i'm wiser for it
anyway, if there's anything i can do to help you track this down
further, plse let me know. in any case, thank you for your assistance!
